Closed case?
Are you now saying that the science people presented in this thread to falsify your view of astronomy, is valid then?
Folks went to some effort you know.
Faced with the consensus of experts on the Sun, solar filters, and cameras, I
have to accept that the Sun can be photographed in space, and will look like
the Sun as seen through a filter, from Earth. The fact that no such image exists
is due to nobody, over 40 years of manned space flight, having had the time and/or
interest to take such an image. It's just the Sun, no big deal.
Maybe for the Sun. What about stars?
Same thing I guess. If the experts say you will obviously see a glorious view of
the heavens from space, then you will, and I'm sure the pioneering space tourists
will confirm this one day.
I think I may have been far too cynical of the abilities of the experts in their
various fields. I have to accept that I am not qualified to question their years
of University, their certificates and the absolute authority of those letters after
their names. My life will be much simpler and less frustrating if I just believe
what I am told. In a way this will be a major relief, especially with things like
black holes and magnetars, dark energy, etc. I have spent far too long worrying about
things best left to the experts. I have been assimilated into the scientific hive
mind, it feels good.
